Some great stuff lads. Was back on to the fella I picked up the minty Loose Luke FB off last week, He said he had a few other bits so I called over to see what he had......Imagine my joy when he said 'sure I will do the lot for 30 Quid'....... There are some hard to find loosies among them the DSC with no chest badge :lol: and the Raised Bar China Stormie.......

Nice loosies, guys!

No vintage toys today from my end, but feast your eyes on...
THIS!!!

Oh well, I figure that most of you guys have it, but to me it's still a special addition to my collection.
Thanks to Iain I can now call myself "Owner of a Kellerman". I wanted this since I started collecting (last year), then I heard the news of a 2nd edition and thought I'd better wait for that. A couple of months later I was tired of waiting and bought one which was lost in transit. Then again I wanted to wait for the 2nd edition. But now I heard the word that it is once again delayed (I heard January 2013), so again I was tired of waiting, just in time when Iain obtained one.

I already worked through the first chapters yesterday and even though I thought I already knew a lot, I was able to find some interesting news for me. For instance I didn't know that there is a Leia Boushh Mail in coin. OK, it would have been better for my bank account not to know that, but hey... where's the fun in that?

I also received some neat accessoires for some of my loosies which I will be showing off in a few days.

Talk about lucky dip, First the DSC and now it appears that the Han Bespin Figure in Photo #2 is the Lili Ledy variation, right down to the No COO and LFL 1980 on top right Leg.

Lili Ledy leg markings on a similar Han Bespin figure

Jeff, what do you mean "Tri Logo DSC with no chest badge"?

I might not be the best loose variant guy but I do know there was no Trilogo DSC released lol

Gonna be real thick here what is pbp?

PBP is the name (well..initials) of the company that produced SW figures in Spain. There is some more info here - http://trilogo.info/intro-history/european-countries-companies/

 

[Dublinjeff]

Thanks Joe for letting me know :lol: Showing my ignorence, saw thats what it was described as on another site...maybe its just common so. Is it just a PBP figure :?

 

[Joe]

I've no idea man

I think people just call any no COO/European release a PBP in the hopes that someone is going to think it's rare and worth buying lol

The no emblem thing is very likely just a production error I would say, like I said earlier though, I am **** at loosies!

 

[Dublinjeff]

:lol: Do you want to buy my rare PBP....... I Think the no emblem thing is a varient as opposed to a Factory error though, Stand corrected....

 

[snaggletooth]

Loads more great additions fellas, keep them coming 8)

Jeff, I don't think the Han is Ledy, I could be wrong but I can't tell for sure from the pics but It's more likely It's the Euro figure that shares the same mold. The DSC is known as the PBP variant but weather it is actually made by them or appears on there cards I don't know, It is found with and without the chest emblem though and like Joe says it's a factory error but there's a fair few out there like some one forgot to add the emblem to a hole batch of figures.
